There is a brokerage firm called LOYAL3 which can provide you with all of the above. LOYAL3 provides the ability to invest as little as $10, in may stocks, fee-free. Enrollment involves only three steps and takes just a few minutes.

Investors can buy fractional shares, in custom amounts or various increments, with the option to invest once or with automatic monthly stock purchases. There are no account management fees, account minimum fees, or cancellation fees. LOYAL3 makes its money by performing services for companies on its platform, and charges them for those services. The link below provides more information on the fee-free stock investing.

But that is just the beginning. Let me tell you about the icing on the cake. LOYAL3 participates in various IPOs, which allows the small investor to get in on some deals that generally wealth investors and institutions can only get. Some of the IPOs that LOYAL3 has participated in include AMC (AMC), Globant (GLOB), GoPro (GPRO), and Santander (SAN). Click the link below for more on the IPO opportunities.

I should let you know that I have an account with LOYAL3 and participated in one the recent IPOs that the company was able to get some shares in, and made roughly 60% the day the stock went public.

Here are the limitations that you should be aware of. First, there are only a certain group of stocks that you can purchase but they are extremely popular companies, many of which you probably do business with. Here are some of them:Apple (AAPL)GoPro (GPRO)Google (GOOG) (GOOGL)Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A)Amazon (AMZN)Alibaba (BABA)Walt Disney (DIS)Coca-Cola (KO)Facebook (FB)Starbucks (SBUX)Microsoft (MSFT)Intel (INTC)Walmart (WMT)McDonalds (MCD)

Second, in regards to the IPOs, you are not guaranteed that you will be your entire allocation that you request. In addition, there are minimum and maximum investments for the IPO.

LOYAL3 is a member of FINRA and SIPC. I can tell you that the sign-up process is simple and the customer service is excellent. This is a brokerage firm that is definitely thinking outside the box.
